Re: [Bobs-devel] Re: [bobs - Help] database problem

[Arnaud C. <arn...@ar...>]

you're right.... everything works fine now
there's still the problem of the incremental backups....
although i have set up my backups with 1 incremental file to keep, the 
system keeps on backuping a new file everyday... ( i backup a server 
that stores about 60  .PST  Outlook files, with an average size of 200 
MB....)

Hope a nice solution will be chosen soon !
Keep up the good work

Au revoir.
Arnaud.
